London, the Blitz, autumn 1940. As the bombs fall on the blacked-out city, ambulance driver Elinor Brooke races from bomb sites to hospitals trying to save the lives of injured survivors, working alongside former friend Kit Neville, while her husband Paul works as an air-raid warden. As the bombing intensifies, the constant risk of death makes all three of them reach out for quick consolation. Old loves and obsessions re-surface until Elinor is brought face to face with an almost impossible choice. Writing about the Second World War for the first time, Pat Barker brings the besieged and haunted city of London into electrifying life.

Barker'scommand of detailandgift for metaphorare as sharp as ever: her evocation of the bombed city is steeped in drama...Noondayis in the first rank
Tremendously good
This is the first time the author of the Regeneration Trilogy has written about the Second World War andit's a triumph
Many strokes of genius from Barker...accessible and moving
Noonday's Blitz-era setting gives Barkerample opportunity to dowhat she does best
Powerful and vivid, with nuanced characters and Barker's unerring eye for detail
Bold, hard-hitting, unforgettable... a virtuoso rendition of the bombing, as huge swathes of London blaze away with the brightest of bright lights... Barker shows us how the city's finest moment was indubitably also its most terrifying, withluminous and unsparing insight
Ambitious, vivid, sharp... The closer you get to the end, the more lives need saving and the more thwarted and complicated the domestic backdrop... Barker's chronological leap isa sophisticated bridge between the drama of the present and the haunted history of the past
Colourfully alive, fizzes with energy... the novel's point of view swivel[s] like a torchbeam to illuminate London's devastated streets
The book has its own inherent powerthanks to Barker's skilful rendering of the texture of the period but it isricher and more rewardingif read with the other two volumes of this beautifully crafted trilogy
